JScreen

JScreen is a Java Swing component which provides a text screen display.

It was conceived to enable porting old DOS programs to a modern cross-platform environment, while retaining their original look and feel. But it was also designed to enable non-PC text modes, given suitable fonts and character mapping.

Hello World

Getting started is this simple:

import net.digger.ui.screen.JScreen;

public class HelloWorld {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		JScreen screen = JScreen.createJScreenWindow();
		screen.print("Hello world.");
	}
}

The sample programs in JScreen-Demo show off some more of what JScreen can do. And, of course, the source is available to learn every nuance.

• JScreen The main JScreen library.
